蹤獲弝け reiterates rejection of Israeli comments on displacement of Palestinians from their land
  • Kingdom appreciates condemnation, disapproval and total rejection of brotherly countries toward Israeli statements
  • Egypt, Jordan, Gulf states and GCC all issued statements

RIYADH: 蹤獲弝け on Sunday reiterated its categorical rejection of statements regarding the displacement of the Palestinian people from their land, particularly those made by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The Kingdoms Foreign Ministry said in a statement that it rejected such statements that aim to divert attention from the continuous crimes committed by the Israeli occupation against the Palestinian brothers in Gaza, including the ethnic cleansing they are subjected to.

The ministry likewise expressed its appreciation of the condemnation, disapproval and total rejection announced by the brotherly countries regarding the Israeli leaders comments.

The Kingdom also points out that this extremist, occupying mentality does not understand what the Palestinian land means to the brotherly people of Palestine and their emotional, historical and legal connection to this land, and it does not think that the Palestinian people deserve to live in the first place, as it has completely destroyed the Gaza Strip, killed and injured more than 160,000, most of them children and women, without the slightest human feeling or moral responsibility, the Saudi Foreign Ministry statement said.

The Kingdom affirms that the Palestinian people have a right to their land, and they are not intruders or immigrants to it who can be expelled whenever the brutal Israeli occupation wishes.

The Kingdom notes that the proponents of these extremist ideas are the ones who prevented Israel from accepting peace by refusing peaceful coexistence, rejecting the peace initiatives adopted by the Arab countries, and systematically practicing injustice toward the Palestinian people for more than 75 years, with disregard to the truth, justice, law and the values established in the United Nations Charter, including the humans right to live in dignity on his land, the statement added.

The Saudi Foreign Ministry also reiterated that the right of the Palestinian people will remain firmly established and no one will be able to take it away from them no matter how long it takes.

It added lasting peace would only be achieved by returning to the logic of reason and accepting the principle of peaceful coexistence through the two-state solution.

Egypt earlier condemned as irresponsible statements by Israeli officials suggesting establishing a Palestinian state on Saudi territory, with its Foreign Ministry emphasizing that the suggestion was a direct infringement of Saudi sovereignty. It added that the Kingdoms security was a red line for Egypt.

The Jordanian Foreign Ministry described the Israeli remarks as inflammatory and a clear violation of international law, relevant UN resolutions and state sovereignty.

Spokesperson Sufian Qudah criticized what he described as Israels continued provocative policies and rhetoric, stressing that such statements reflect an exclusionary and hostile approach that undermines regional stability, Petra reported.

Jordan, he added, stands in full solidarity with 蹤獲弝け against these statements, urging international actors to take a firm stance against irresponsible rhetoric that threatens peace efforts.

The UAE also strongly condemned and denounced Netanyahus reprehensible and provocative statements regarding the establishment of a Palestinian state in 蹤獲弝け and affirmed its categorical rejection of these unacceptable statements.

Jassim Al-Budaiwi, the secretary-general of the Gulf Cooperation Council, on Sunday condemned the Israeli statements, describing them as dangerous and irresponsible.

He noted that the GCC countries strongly supported 蹤獲弝けs advocacy for the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people and the establishment of a Palestinian state within the pre-1967 borders.

Al-Budaiwi urged the international community to take a serious and decisive stand against aggressive Israeli statements that threaten the security and stability of the region.

The Kuwaiti Ministry of Foreign Affairs also rejected Netanyahus statements and expressed its support for 蹤獲弝け in defense of its stability and sovereignty.

Bahrain said that these Israeli comments were irresponsible, and the suggestion of establishing a Palestinian state on Saudi territory was a flagrant violation of international law and the UN Charter.

The Bahraini Ministry of Foreign Affairs added that Manama was fully supportive of the brotherly Kingdom of 蹤獲弝け and stands by its security, stability, and sovereignty.

It added that preserving the rights of Palestinians and preventing their displacement from their lands, alongside establishing a Palestinian state, was the only path to a just and comprehensive peace in the Middle East.

Qatar also condemned Netanyahus comment suggesting establishing a Palestinian state inside Saudi territory, the Qatari foreign ministry said in statement.

Qatar, a key mediator in Gaza ceasefire negotiations between Hamas and Israel, described Netanyahus statement as provocative.

  • Ten experiments designed by students from 蹤獲弝け and across the Arab world were included in the launch
  • Space Madak competition was set up to support and encourage those who are fascinated by space science and technology

RIYADH: Saudi students winning entries from the Space Madak competition were launched to the International Space Station on Wednesday morning, the Saudi Space Agency announced.

The launch was part of an international mission that lifted off from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, United States.

Ten experiments designed by students from 蹤獲弝け and across the Arab world were included in the launch a landmark event that reflects the Kingdoms push to advance scientific innovation and empower young talents in the space industry.

The Space Madak competition was set up to support and encourage those who are fascinated by space science and technology and are eager to learn how to turn their ideas into practical scientific applications in the microgravity environment aboard the ISS.

The competition, an initiative by the agency in partnership with the Misk Foundation and the Ilmi Science Discovery and Innovation Center, consisted of three categories: Art: Bezel of Inspiration, open to ages 6-11; Agriculture: Bezel of Growth, open to ages 12-14; and Engineering: Bezel of Innovation, open to ages 15-18.

More than 80,000 students participated from across the Arab world.

At the launch of the competition in February last year, Rayyanah Barnawi, the first female Saudi astronaut and supervisor of the competition, said that it was bound to expand the horizons of ambitious young minds and fuel their creativity.

The competition presented a unique opportunity for students in the Arab world to participate in a journey of discovery and innovation, she said.

Barnawi was selected by the agency to join Axiom Mission 2 in May 2023, and with fellow Saudi astronaut Ali Al-Qarni, conducted 14 experiments on the ISS 11 on research in a microgravity environment focused on human health, cell sciences, and cloud seeding, and three interactive educational experiments with students in the Kingdom.

The achievement by the students is a reflection of the Saudi Space Agencys efforts to fortify the Kingdoms presence in international space programs and to promote an environment that supports a knowledge-based economy, in accordance with Vision 2030 goals of preparing a generation capable of becoming active contributors in the future of the space sector.
